Manga

[Neversoft]

No one really talks about manga on here, despite it being cheaper, easier to get hold of, and often more superior to anime. I will admit that anime gets my vote if I had to choose between the two, and I'm guessing it would also get everyone elses vote, but there definitely deserves to be a manga discussion on this forum! Without manga way over half of the good anime series wouldn't even exist!

So, let's start!

Do you read manga?
Do you prefer it to anime?
What are your favourites?

My top five...

1. Claymore
2. Death Note
3. Guyver
4. Bakuman
5. Peace Maker

Although I predict that Eden: It's an Endless World and Ping Pong will kick two others out of my top five once I've finished them.

is it like episodes but comic book type

[Southe,]

All animes do it diffrently. One piece for example1 and a half chapters usually makes an episode. www.onemanga.com go pick a series and look for yourself

is it like episodes but comic book type

Pretty much.

[Niall!]

I only read Mangas that have no anime, they are also always Ecchi.

Good? It's bloody amazing! I think a fair few people do seem to know about it though. The UK was the first place for it to be released officially excluding Japan. :eusa_danc Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba are an unstoppable force!

I think the manga version of Death Note is on par with the anime. I just can't accept the fact that Mikami would suddenly stop believing in Light and start saying that he wasn't KAMI! It makes more sense for him to kill himself. I LOVE the extra bit at the very end of the manga with Matsuda and Ide though. Just knowing that Matsuda and the others thought that maybe the world actually was a better place when Kira around was so satisfying. Matsuda's theory about Near was also extremely interesting. It makes so much sense but at the same time I don't like to think it's true because I like to think that Light was actually once in control, and Near didn't actually have it all planned out and wasn't ten steps ahead of everyone else.

I think I prefer the anime version of Welcome to the NHK over the manga version. The manga has some really cool parts that make you think "Damn, that would have been good in the anime. I wish they put that in there." but overall the anime is still the best. Manga is a must read though!
